Kai bares his fangs, running his tongue along one. "Get. Inside. Now."

I smile sweetly. "Make me."

I barely have time to blink before Kai sweeps me off my feet and throws me over his shoulder. I squeal as the world spins, and Kai turns to head for the door.

"You'll regret that, little bird."

A giggle climbs up my throat and Kai's back tenses. "I hope so."

He drops me just inside the cabin, making sure I slide down his body, rubbing against every inch of him. I bite my lip to keep a sigh from escaping.

On instinct, as soon as he lets me go, I turn and run. I have no direction in mind, and I know I won't get far, but the thrill of the chase is what it's all about.

A hand wraps around my ankle, and I scream as I fall face first toward the floor. Of course, with his vampire speed and strength, Kai manages to wrap his arms around me to prevent me from hitting the floor too hard.

Still, the breath is knocked from my lungs in shock. Kai digs his hand into my hair and tugs me to my knees, my scalp prickling with his motions. Keeping his hold on my hair, he walks around to face me and angles my head so I can look at him.

"On your knees," he mutters. "Exactly where I like you."

My gaze travels from his face, down his chest hidden by his shirt, to the prominent bulge in his pants. I lick my lips in anticipation.

"By the time I'm done with you, little bird, you'll know exactly who owns you."

Ah, so that's what this is about. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't tolerate someone saying they own me. But, in all reality, these guys do own me. They own my heart and my soul. Every breath I breathe is theirs. And I know, in return, they are mine.

And right now, Kai needs that reminder. He may not agree with me threatening to release the footage, but he'll do it because I want to. However, it causes the predator in him to come out. He needs to make sure I know no one will ever be able to claim me again.

I reach up and tuck my fingers under the waistband of his sweats, but he swats me away. With one hand on my chin, fingers digging in to force my mouth open, he pulls his pants down. His cock springs free and he wraps his free hand around it, tracing my lips with the head. The piercing at the tip is cool against my lips.

"Open up, little bird. Swallow me down like a good girl." His fingers tighten, almost to the point of pain.

Something dark inside of me enjoys it. Maybe all that time I spent in darkness, all the hurt and betrayal, have changed me. Maybe the claws of darkness have sunk deep and haven't let go. Or maybe it's just because I trust my guys without question. Whatever it is, I don't mind the pain and dark words. In fact, I find I'm enjoying it.

I open my mouth and let Kai slide his cock inside. He groans softly when I close my mouth around him and suck. The noises he makes send heat straight to my core, and I try to close my legs to ease the growing ache.

Kai tugs my hair, sending more pain coursing through my veins. "Eyes on me, little bird."

I look at Kai through my lowered lids and find his glowing red gaze burning straight into me. I can't take it anymore. I want to feel him touching me. I want him to kiss me, to lick me, to make me scream with pleasure.

"Kai, please," I say, pulling back as much as I can with his fist tangled in my hair.

That evil, crooked grin displays fangs I want buried in my neck. "I don't think so, little bird. Did you forget you're being punished?"

Damn. As much as I enjoy being a brat, I hate the punishment when he refuses to do what I want. But, I know exactly how to get around that.

"You say you own me." My hands slide up his thighs and over his hips, fingers trailing in the grooves of his abs. "Show me."

His eyes flash, and I know I have him. Kai steps out of his pants and grabs me by my waist. The world spins as he throws me over his shoulder and my breath whooshes out of me from it digging into my stomach.

He carries me upstairs and drops me onto the bed. "Take off your clothes, little bird. Let me see you."

He idly strokes himself as I shimmy out of the shirt and undies I threw on when I woke up. That dark look, eager and ready to devour me, makes my heart pound, and anticipation swirls in my gut. I lay back against the pillows and let my legs fall to the sides.

Kai pounces before I stop moving. His fingers bite into my thighs and spread my legs more. The first swipe of his tongue makes me gasp. The sheets bunch in my tightened fists and I lift my hips, silently begging for more.

He gives me more. He gives me everything I could ever ask for. This man knows how to use his tongue. I'm standing on the precipice, ready to fall over the edge when Kai drags one of his fangs over my clit.

My back arches and I scream his name as I come. Waves of pleasure wash through me like a fire consuming a forest. Kai brings me through every last wave, and when he finally lifts his head, his lips glisten with my release.
